mutual aid.
We are putting our collective dollars together to help pay for each other’s well-being.
Our 2024 focus is to partner with our BIPOC neighbors who are ready to try talk therapy and/or financial coaching. We are partnering with financial coaches, therapists, and more in hopes of providing accessibility to these services.
*please note that we are not a non profit. Mutual Aid is about meeting the direct needs of our neighbors. 10% will go to admin costs. For transparency, we will do quarterly updates for those who partake in our mutual aid fund.
